Jack Teixeira, the Air National guardsman accused of leaking classified documents online, pleaded not guilty in court Wednesday to six federal charges.

The 21-year-old guardsman entered the pleas in a Massachusetts court after he was indicted last week by a federal grand jury in Boston. He is currently facing six counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information, according to the Department of Justice.
